Chapter 282 Germa is about to rise

North Sea.

Germa Kingdom.

As a super kingdom that once unified the entire North Sea, even though it was later overthrown by the united countries of the North Sea and lost all its territory, it was still not completely destroyed.

The surviving bloodline established a kingdom in exile on the back of a giant snail, becoming the only kingdom in the world without a homeland.

After many years, Judge returned to this place once again, and looking at the familiar scenery and objects, he was inexplicably moved.

"Prince Judge? Is it Prince Judge?!"

The old steward looked at the travel-worn Gaji with some disbelief.

Since Judge set sail from Germa many years ago, saying he was going to find the power to revive Germa, he had not received any direct contact from Judge.

I only occasionally see snippets of information about it in newspapers and magazines.

Later, after Judge was recruited by Kaido along with Vegapunk and others, news about Judge became even rarer.

If it weren't for the last news report confirming that Judge had joined the Beasts Pirates, the old butler would probably have thought Judge had died in the New World.

"Odes, I'm back."

Judge smiled slightly at the old butler.

"I've returned with power!!"

Upon hearing this, the old butler named Odes couldn't help but show a smile of satisfaction and admiration on his face.

"Excellent! Excellent! As expected of Prince Judge!"

"Hahahaha!"

Gaji laughed heartily.

"This time, we must let all the kingdoms of the North Sea know! Their king has returned!!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Amidst laughter, Judge walked into the main castle.

The vast castle was empty, with only an old butler by his side.

"Huh? What happened? Where's my father?!"

A sense of desolation flickered in the old butler's eyes.

"His Majesty the King... he has been waiting for His Highness the Prince to return..."

Before long, Judge met his terminally ill father, the current king of Germa, in the royal palace's bedroom.

The old king was delighted by Judge's return, especially after hearing Judge say that he had found the power to restore Germa to its rightful place in the North Sea.

Unfortunately, his body was already beyond saving, and he had endured until now only to wait for Judge so that the throne of Germa could continue to be passed down.

Therefore, the father and son had only been reunited for two or three hours, and while Gaji was still talking about his grand ideals, the old king had already passed away with a smile on his face.

Upon realizing his father's passing, tears streamed down Judge's face, but he continued talking, recounting his entire plan in detail.

Then, he personally closed his father's eyes and beckoned the old butler, Odes, to come in and handle the funeral arrangements.

The old king had been bedridden long enough that he had already made arrangements for his funeral before his death, and Odes had prepared a contingency plan. Therefore, the old king's funeral proceeded in an orderly manner.

At the funeral, with tears in his eyes, Judge solemnly announced his succession to the Germa throne in front of hundreds of citizens of the Germa Kingdom.

The people warmly welcomed Judge's accession to the throne.

After successfully ascending to the throne and handling the old king's funeral, Judge did not rest at all.

He immediately summoned Odes and asked him to report on all the assets that Germa currently possessed.

However, Odes did not accept the task, but instead recommended his son, Oren, to Judge.

“I am old, His Majesty has passed away, and I will soon follow him in death. Please entrust His Majesty Judge’s grand ambitions to Oren for assistance.”

And so, Oren took over the old butler's duties.

And a few days later, the old steward peacefully passed away at the old king's grave.
